Started walking the girls to the Union, we'd been drinking for 3 hours before hand. I fell down the stairs (much to the amusement of everyone) and my ankle made the sound of a stretchy leather wallet, basically, it made a nasty fleshy clicking crunching sound, think I sprained it. Still hurts to walk.
Injured myself in many many other ways by basically being stupid. ie, landed on my arse from a 4 ft jump!? ugh.
And best of all, this is the bit I'm actually proud of, sent a text message to my ex gf (whom I still love) and basically said:
"No more s**t, it ends now. I'm not as stupid as you think, neither you or Suzi give a flying **** about me, never did. But I did care, and I've wasted 4 months of my life on the both of you. Swear back all you want tonight I wont feel bad, but in the morning it will"

But overall, Uni is annoying me. Once a week I drink like this, and for the next 2 days I can hardly breath, walk, speak or eat. And everyone else somehow seems immune.
Screw drinking games and peer pressure, I'm staying on the water and Tea.

Who else gets a little annoyed at this type of drunken culture, in which you fit in, or you be labelled "a sad g*t"?

I got drunk last night... I didn't actually mean too either. My already drunk-hick friends started off by giving me code-red mixed with Vodka, and kept giving me those until I'd drink right out of the bottle. I haven't been to sleep since, and I drank at least 2 and a half bottles of white-something. My head really hurts, and I can't find my 400 dollars worth of DnD books...

Drinking sucks, and I don't like to do it. But once I get started, it's almost impossible to stop. And to think, I've been clean for almost a year now.

It stops me from sleeping too. its awful. Sometimes alcohol weaves enchantements that sooth a troubled heart, but the after effects are more than enough trouble.

You think America is bad? Britain is following in the wake of Russia, and our dear females are injuring themselved trying to out-do the men. A sad culture we live in.

I currently dislike alcohol, and I hope I stay that way. Drinking sucks.

I hate drinking, but I love going to parties where people drink, you get much more enjoyment of seeing your friends make arses out of themselves drunk while your sober

Yeah... I got a story too.

Me and 4 friends decided to purchase a 60 of Crown Royal. At about 4-5 shots each, one of my friends calls one of his buds and he comes over and rolls a blunt. I'm like whatever, I'm alright feeling the shots. Anyways, we finish the crappy blunt (rolled to tight) and go down for a few more shots. I'm pretty wasted ATM, aka. bumping into walls and pretty loosened up. So were down stairs chillin to Dr. Dre's classic album "2001" on my dads kick *** system. I hear a knock on the door and two more guys join in. I'm messed up so I couldn't say no. Even now, things aren't going so bad. Well, after I've had about 15 or so shots, (a few of them were doubles) I started to feel like crap and started puking, good for me that I went to the toilet. While i was puking my friends were like "YOUR THE COOLEST GUY MAAAAN. I LOVE YOOOUU!" "ARE YOU ALRIGHT?" All I could say was "yeeeeah". They decided to put me to bed. I puked on my bed also. I wake up to utter shock. SHAVING CREAM everywhere. One of my friends passed out on my couch with puke all over him. Another one of my friends that I didn't even invite was sleeping in my spare bedroom. Two of my other friends left. All I know was that everyone was running around my house and falling down stairs. Never again. Not to mention the fact that i can't even THINK about the taste of Crown Royal anymore. I'll just stick to good 'ol Marijuana for my kicks.

No one has yet been able to prove to me what exactly the appeal of getting drunk is.

Yay, liver damage.
Yay, headaches.
Yay, nausea.

Yeah, it's really difficult for me to think of a better way to spend my leisure time.

Really? I always got bored when that happened.

Eh. It's fun, but I don't think it's possible to convince someone of what they're missing when they've already decided it's wrong. I like it, I like getting drunk and acting silly with my friends. For a while it's a good way to loosen up around the people you like hanging out with.

Logically it's a simple matter to determine that there's some enjoyment to be had from drinking, because the majority of youth and a good portion of adults imbibe large quantities of alcohol on a fairly frequent basis. Even if you don't agree, you have to admit that there is some sort of appeal.

It depends whose drunk. If its a bunch of people who just act stupid its one thing but if its people that get angry or fall down stairs, etc. it can be pretty funny.

I think anyone will give you that there is some sort of apeal... the thing I can't figure out is what it is.

Yeah, I was at my grandma's apartment building (she lives in the same building as my handicapped aunts (they have eletric scooters)) and my cousins brought whiskey with them. (one of them is a freshman in college and the other is a junior in igh school). Just as you may have guessed the cousin in college was a lot better mannered than the one in high school when they started drinking. Me and him just sat there and laughed at him. Then we brought out the electric scooters like we normally do, but this time they were drunk. Lets just say they broke a lot of stuff. Then we went to the parking garage and found an electric wheelchair with only 1 working motor that spun really fast when you pushed forward on the joystick. We did that until my younger cousin puked then they went to bed. Oh that was a fun night, and i didnt even have a drop of alcohol. It's funny because my older cousin was aware that he was drunk and even composed himself really well when some lady came in to drop off my aunt's medication, and my younger one was totally out of it. That's enough to tell me not to drink, or at least not a lot, until college. Or at least not in front of other people.

You have to try it to figure out that one.

Doesn't sound promising enough to make me wanna try it

One word: moderation. If you don't understand it, don't drink.

A rule unfortunetly followed by few.

I got drunk and choreographed a sword fight using PVC pipe last night.

I have to agree with Spork and Jon`C, it tastes good and it loosens you up so you have more fun really. I know it sounds dumb but it does. It affects your judgemental processes so you have less inhibitions so you're more carefree = more fun. As long as you dont have too much to drink you'll be fine. I've never puked or had a hangover or lost control/consciousness. Just know how much you can handle.

For me it's all about the Guiness and Bailey's.

<< schming stout >>

Gee, sounds like if you do that stuff when you're drunk you don't need to drink, you're only putting yourself and potentially others at risk.

And it's easy to avoid hangovers if you know what you're doing. I haven't had a hangover since the second time I got drunk...and I was lucky to have just a hangover.

------------------
To think that once I could not see beyond the veil of reality, to see those who dwell behind. I was once a fool.

I always feel sad when I see my friends impaired. I don't know about anyone else, but I can loosen up pretty well around my friends without alcohol. I used to be okay with drinking. It made me feel like an adult, since they all do it, but after a while, I couldn't really say I knew what was so great about it. Anything with alcohol tates awful (IMO), and its only other features are impairing judgement, and possibly causing bodily harm. Sounded a lot like a drug, and that just didn't sit well with me. So now I pass on the booze, and I still have as great a time as I want. Just my thoughts, and I don't go around telling drinkers that they're morons or anything.

I usually have one really, really bad drunken experience each semester, but that's it. Most of the time, I limit myself to a few drinks for the night and I don't make an *** of myself.

------------------
I'm not an actor. I just play one on TV.

That is the most infuriatingly "cutesy" thing I have ever read.

I just drink enough to make me loosen up and joyful but rarely enough to do anything horrendously stupid. And I never drink alone, so it's social drinking where I basically need to drink some to become more extroverted.

Hmm... second year at uni and the most drunk i've been is slight dizziness (sp?) and talking a bit slower (not slurring though). According to lots of people slight dizziness is a sign that you've drunk too much, I couldn't say... except I wasn't doing or saying anything I haven't done/said sober ie no loss of inhibition.

Maybe i'm just one of those people who doesn't get any of the enjoyable side-effects.

I had a couple of beers last night. I was a bit dehydrated and excited and lost a few inhibitions (who'd have thought there was a natural inhibition to try and help clear up tables?). I'm usually quite reasonable with my drinking nowadays, but in the past I have passed out from drinking too much. As I speak my mother is passed out from drinking.

"I am the signature virus! Copy me into your signature so that I can take over the world! Moohahahee!"

The only reason I have to drink alcohol is to lose my inhibitions since I have zero confidence about myself or any of my abilities and i'm insanely inhibited. I don't seem to become any less inhibited though so I think i'm just wasting my money...

If I drink, it's because it tastes good. I don't drink because the drink has C2H6O (alcohol).

I don't know what the appeal of being drunk is either.

I like a glass of wine with my dinner or an occational rusty nail(strong but tastey)

I *LOVE* tequilla shots. I'm coherent for up to 4, but after that, It starts hitting me hard.

Personally, I don't think people should have it held against them if they happen to make an *** out of themselves while they are drinking-- after all, they are not in full control and don't really know what they are doing.




------------------
Most people regard me as the dark and immoral side of Massassi. At least I'm getting what I want out of life.

meh, any alcohol I've ever had tastes like crap, I'm underage anyway so there's no point in getting possibly getting killed by my parents for something I'm not even going to like. But 2 of my friends do drink...I picture them drinking a lot like they are sober, only louder

If there is a 50% chance that you are going to be right, there is a 90% chance that you will choose the wrong one ~SithNazgul, the 50-50-90 rule

The idea is that you don't get so drunk that you don't have control over yourself. That's why it SHOULD be held against them.

@pagewizard

I hope you think people should still be held accountable for actions with more serious consequences though (afterall they did choose to drink in the first place).

[This message has been edited by DeTRiTiC-iQ (edited December 14, 2003).]

I think pagewizard meant the following (rather than the rather careless paragraph he posted):

If you get drunk and you happen to act like a bit of a moron, but you don't normally, people shouldn't be too hard on you when you sober up.
